Summary: Licencing for apacheds-all
Key: DIRSERVER-2006
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-2006
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M17
Environment: Does not matter, component does not exist as this ticket
applies to the artifact apacheds-all
Reporter: Sebastian Oerding
The artifacte apacheds-all artifact includes classes cpoied there from other
libraries (such as the Bouncycastle classes for parsing ASN1).
However in this case the licence of the original must be correctly applied. In
the case of the classes from Bouncycastle the solution is as follows:
- Use the ASF 2.0 licence for the apacheds-all but add a hint that the code in
the package org\bouncycastle\ (whichever contains the classes) is taken from
bouncycastle and that for this package the additional statement ... (check the
Bouncycastle licence to get the statement, Bouncycastle licence is derived from
MIT Licence) is part of the licence. Furthermore state that this additional
part must be preserved in case of any further sublicencing of this code in the
org.bouncycastle package additionally to the requirements defined by the ASF
licence.
